Dog Walking Lyndale

“Jackson is a really invested dog walker. He’s so good with our pandemic pup who seems to love the attention and walks during the day with him now that we’re all back to work and school and the pup is home alone more often.”

“Molly was overly communicative and was super sweet with our nervous lil pup. She even cleaned up a little accident he had before she arrived which was super sweet. Super excited to have her come back again!”

About: I have vast experience with sick and abused animals and with an open heart and gentle touch I'm able to build trust and confidence in almost any pet. I'm physically active but also enjoy a nice snuggle on the couch. So if you have an athlete, couch potato or anything in between, I'm your man. I am professional and easy to get along with. I also have wonderful communication skills. I volunteer for several soup kitchens and food pantries. My life is to be of service to all living creatures through patienceand kindness. Call me with questions or concerns anytime. I look forward to bringing joy and safety to your home. Taking care of pets is a passion of mine. I love all life forms. I have a wonderful little girl that loves guests to play with. It's an everyday thing for us. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company. We take long walks and trips to the park often. Snuggles on the couch are typical in this house. Meal time is the same time everyday and when we have guests we always separate the kids during meal time. Just to be safe.

About: Hi! My name is Livi and Children’s Therapist living in the uptown area. I have had and loved dogs/cats all my life and have been pet sitting for a variety of animals consistently for the past 5+ years. I would love the chance to get to know and take care of your pets!! Currently, I am working full time hybrid schedule on Monday-Friday. Typically, my schedule involves being away from the home for no more than 2-3 hours at a time. Besides that my days are very wide open and I am home frequently to make sure no pets feel lonely! Additionally, my weekends are completely free for taking care of your animals! I always do my best to maintain as much consistency as possible for your animals. I want to know their normal habits and schedules in order to keep both them, and you, as comfortable as possible.

“Mari is excellent. She is sweet with our dog, very prompt with messages, and our dog was noticeably calmer after walking with Mari.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for my whole life, starting with the family dog when I was 4. When I was 22, I got my first dog. A basset hound name Charlie who gave me all the lessons in having a new puppy, and a vocal one at that. My most recent dog, a yorkshire terrier named Lucy, sadly passed 3 years ago at the age of 13 after battling heart and kidney problems. What sets me apart, is that I have experienced the life stages of a dog from puppy to old age, and have loved them fully in all of those stages. I've handled the training and high energy and teething stages, and eased them to the other side with the frequent appointments and medications. Having grown up and been around dogs my whole life, I feel they can sense my genuine love for all animals and I have gotten good at helping all dogs eventually feel at ease with me. Like I say to all people who have told me "they really like you", I have great dog vibes. (And am very responsible too). I am in the process of shifting careers and am wanting to take the time to decide where that will lead. I teach 2-3 crochet classes a month on Sundays but besides those times, I can be available any time as long as there is a little notice. For transparency, I will be looking for additional part time work while in this transitioning stage, but I will update my availability and coordinate with current clients with plenty of notice as I do not plan on stopping with Rover. Right now, I am in a place that does not allow animals, but I am happy to visit/stay at homes or take pets out for walks. A typical schedule when I had dogs, was to wake up and take them for a walk right away, then I would feed them and start my day. Additionally, I always made sure to get them out for an evening/nighttime walk. The amounts of time I take them out to the bathroom depends on the age of the dog and whether there are any issues with accidents in the home. As my dog got older, I had to take her out more frequently and make arrangements with others to help me. I I am in tune with dogs while I am with them. I will leave them alone if they are sleeping or are content, but I am frequently talking to them and connecting with them in different ways (pets, throwing toys, singing songs about them, etc..) so they don't feel ignored. After having 3 of my own dogs, I know how different dogs can be (even if they are all good boys and girls). Knowing a little bit about the dog's personality, fears, favorite treats/toys, health status, etc. helps me care for them better, make their environment safer, and keep them comfortable.

“Alana did a wonderful job with Theo! Her communication was amazing and Theo was relaxed when we came home so I could tell he was well taken care of. His coat looked great too so I could see that she brushed him. I will definitely use Alana again.”

About: Iv been with animals for all of my life from fish to hamsters to big dogs. I even graduated from the school of environmental studies. Iv been taking care of our family dogs for years and even helping my grandma s with her own two. In the summer going out to the dog park and long walks to staying inside during the big snowstorms cuddled up. It feels weird not to have an animal by my side Iv delt with both young and elderly animals, giving them medication, care and proper treatment. I was toght to always leave a place in better condition then when you found it

About: I practice Reiki and energy work on all sentient beings (including trees!). I have grown up with Retrievers and Labs (for hunting and hanging out with), plus I've sat for dogs, cats, and more during my 19 years living in Europe. I moved into a condo I purchased in April 2026 and work part-time at a coffee shop while caregiving for my elderly grandmother, who was my reason for moving back. I love playing with dogs and getting fresh air -- and a bit of extra pocket money on the side would be greatly appreciated. I house sat and watched two old dogs (with cancer, arthritis, and post-surgery on front paw) and other animals that are not allowed to sit for on Rover.com from January until April 2026 while I was getting my feet under me back stateside. I'm happy to send their email and phone / WhatsApp for references. I live in East Lake Harriet near Lyndale and 40th. Would love some regular dog walking, cleaning, yard work, or other services. My schedule is always changing at the coffee shop, but I will always have time around mid-day, because the shifts are either 6am - noon OR noon - 6pm. Dogs aren't welcome in my condo building, so I'd have to visit for a walk or provide care in the pet's own home. I usually start by getting to know them, let them smell and enjoy a good pet and doggie massage, then they relieve themselves and explore... it's usually more sniffing than walking, but I make sure to get some fun play in by throwing a ball / toy, running around an enclosed space, and other fun activities depending on the breed.

“Sydney is new to our pups but she handled them like a pro and they instantly took to her. She was on time and did a great job dealing with the nuances of access to home, their leashes, interaction with other dogs, cats that like to try to escape, etc. Thank you Sydney!”

About: Before I became a flight attendant I had 5 doggies that I miss so much! Now that I travel for work & can’t have animals I’d love to mingle with them even if it’s a quick walk to the park. Im usually gone for a work trip 3-4 days max. I’d be open to communicating availability with owners when possible & being flexible the most I can be. Coming from a customer & safety regulated work field; safety is always my top priority. Follow all rules from owners & communicate any uncertainties that may come up.

“Kayla was a life saver for me this past week! I typically work from home but was traveling for work - so Kayla came over during the workdays to take Barley for a walk. She was flexible, responsive, and loving towards my two-year-old golden. She even offered to bring Barley a raincoat when it was raining one day the days! I will definitely be using Kayla again on my next work trip!”

“Amber did an amazing job walking our dog while we were our of town, and for several days beforehand! Our girl is a reactive rescue, and Amber was so kind and calm with her, which made all the difference. Our dog happily went with Amber for each walk, which was amazing, and Amber even braved a snowstorm to take our girl out for her walkies! Amber was also so flexible with scheduling, which was a huge help. We’ll definitely keep working with Amber in the future.”

“Samantha made her way through the snow and ice to make sure to get my dog Mabel walked. She’s super reliable and makes sure my dog gets what she needs.”

About: Experience with dogsitting, catsitting, and housesitting. I've provided pet/house care for families who have taken extended vacations (2-5 weeks). Love to be active and play with animals! I'm responsible and consistent and willing to help with extra tasks in your home (plant care, light cleaning, taking out trash, etc.). While I can't have your pet in my home, I am able and willing to stay overnight, drop-in for extended visits/walks, and/or do what your pet needs to be comfortable. I have years of experience nannying in people’s homes and I’m currently working as a speech therapist in school and hospital settings. I hope you’ll give me a chance to take care of your pet(s)! I work 3 days per week, from around 7:30-3pm. I work one weekend per month from 8-4pm. I’m able to stop by before work, after work, weekends, and of course stay over if that works best! I always try to incorporate exercise and/play into the pet’s day if possible. I try to make sure animals feel safe and cared for, giving space if they need.

“We have had her walk our Australian Shepherd/German Shepherd twice now and we are totally impressed with her. We were nervous since she has never had anyone walk her before and she pretty scared of other people but she had no problem with Allison. I would recommend her to anyone!!!”

“Daisy loves animals and is very kind. She does this work because she likes it not because she has to . She is easy to work with, responsible and trustworthy. You couldn’t ask for more.”

About: I've raised both of my dogs since they were less than a year old. I have been a dog owner for years and being around dogs has always been a part of my life. I moved to Minnesota for personal reasons and unfortunately had to leave my two kiddos in New York. I am looking to meet some of the local dogs in the area. I'm sure your furbaby will be a cutie! I'm a full time employee, but have remote days available and weekends off. I also get most federal holidays off. I can easily do long weekends or certain hours on a remote day. I can be attentive to a pet's needs while engaging in other tasks. I managed to potty train my puppy while attending law school. I also have a lot of experience with a senior dog and a high energy dog.
